Beard Conditioning & Regular Maintenance Routine

by The Gentleman's Beard .Club AdminMarch 18, 2016

The best way to soften beard hair is to start working on a facial care maintenance routine each day. Begin by investing in a beard brush that you can use to exfoliate the skin under the beard. Use the brush in the shower to remove dead skin that can lead to itching, and remove excess and buildup that is causing the hair to become course.

BEARD WASH- FRESH WOOD----------------------------------

This product was designed for the gentleman who wants to stop using chemical hairshampoo for his beard and who wants to make the switch to The Gentleman's Beard Wash that creates a rich lather that will immediately make your beard feel softer as you rinse the foam off and towel dry.

It is suggested to use your scalp shampoo on your regular hair first thing in the shower, and then rinse it completely out of your hair. Do the same for your beard with the beard wash. This way any remnants that drip down into your beard will be gone before conditioning your beard with the good stuff.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT WASH YOUR BEARD DAILY AS THIS WILL STRIP YOUR BEARD OF NATURAL ESSENTIAL OILS. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO WASH IT EVERY 3 DAYS AT MOST!

QUALITY BEARD CONDITIONER-------------------------------------

To continue your efforts to soften beard hairs, the next thing you need to invest in is quality beard conditioner. Most lightweight conditioners designed for beards contain vitamin E and will do an adequate job is softening your facial hair. The reason it is so important you invest in the right conditioner is because the hair of the mustache and beard are coarser than that on your scalp. The conditioner works to moisturize the facial skin under the beard and reduce that stubble stiffness. After you have finished shampooing your beard in the shower, apply a generous amount of beard conditioner to your hand and massage in the beard. Work with your hands and make sure you get as much conditioner deep into the beard as possible. Rinse thoroughly and use a towel to pat dry the beard as we prepare for the final step to soften beard hair.

STEPS TO USE BEARD WASH----------------------------------

STEP 1:

Rub the beard wash into your hands to get a nice soapy lather and then rub it deep into your beard, making sure to really massage right down to the root of the hair follicle to remove any dead skin cells that have accumulated since you stopped shaving. Hair follicle blockages are no fun and could make your beard hair fall out. Leave the beard wash in your beard for a few minutes to allow it to be soaked into the hair and skin.

STEP 2:

Rinse out thoroughly.

STEPS TO USE CONDITIONER-----------------------------------
